Sony IER-M500 – Stage-ready in-ear monitoring

The IER-M500 is Sony's wired in-ear monitor for musicians who need to hear themselves clearly on a loud stage. A single 5 mm dynamic driver and a fully sealed housing deliver controlled low end and detailed highs, while high passive isolation keeps the mix intact without pushing monitoring levels up. Built for players, engineers, and content creators, it lands at Soundium in three transparent finishes.

Key Features

• 5 mm dynamic driver: Full-range sound with deep, controlled bass and refined treble from a single acoustic chamber.
• High passive isolation: A sealed, thin-wall design blocks stage noise so you can monitor at safer levels.
• Detachable 1.6 m cable: Swap the cable if it wears on the road instead of replacing the whole monitor.
• Secure over-ear fit: Fitting supporters, ear hangers, and four ear-tip sizes keep the monitors locked in through a full set.
• Moisture resistant: Handles sweat and stage splashes during long performances.
• Hi-Res Audio range: 10 Hz to 40 kHz reproduction for stage monitoring and studio checks alike.

Customer Benefits

On stage, the IER-M500 gives you a stable, isolated monitor feed so you can trust your pitch and timing without cranking the volume. The sealed housing cuts crowd and backline noise, and the secure ear-hanger fit means the monitors stay put whether you are behind a kit, a mic, or a guitar. Off stage, the same clarity makes it an easy reference for editing and everyday critical listening, and the replaceable cable keeps a working pair going season after season.
